The hospital formulary is not only a list of drugs, but also a policy that involves several complex processes and activities. Formularies are developed based on cost‐effectiveness evaluation, but maintaining cost‐effectiveness requires educational strategies. The clinical pharmacist plays an active role in formulary processes. These processes are discussed in this paper. There is a need for studies on the cost‐effectiveness of clinical pharmacy services in support of the hospital formulary.
